DLetters totheEditor

Irish Orienteering Association

J6,Wedgewood EstateSandyf'ord Rd.,Dublin 14

For somo time now tho lOA has boenaware of'the need to help our Junior Orientocrs. At a recentmooting this whole area was discussod and plans and policiesput forward. In short, we feel that the way to get to theJuniors is through the existing clubs who can help in thef'ollowing \~ays:

(1) Contact schools, youth clubs and scout groups in yourarea and, if'possible, find a person in oach organisatio~who will liaise with tho club.

(2) Provide group membership of tho club.(J) Provide instructional coursos for any tenchel's, youth

loaders and S90ut masters who are prepared to getinvolved.

(4) Provide local events :for children in simple areas witheasy courses. Cut out travol as much as possible bymapping local parks and school grounds. Naps should boof good standard,nonetholoss,and if possible in colour.

(5) Give the children incentives- small prl~es, organiseleagues, provide novelty events and tryout new ideas.

(6) Make available to interested groups litorature on howto start ond run small events, equipment. to use, hoI\'to manage a course, lists of Orienteering areas andmaps, lists of events coming up that are suitable andpeople to contact at clu~ level and lOA level.

(7) Provide instructional courses for children. Thesecould make use of hostels where Orienteoring is nowavailable: Glendalough, Aughavannagh, Limerick, Cork,Ballydavid, Cappanaloa, Omeath and shortly at Tiglin,Glencree/Knockree, Killary Harbour & Mountain Lodge.

(8) Encourage in the childron respect for good Or~enteeringprocedure, respect for property and~an al\'aronessofnature.

While no one expects miracles we feel that ifeach.club makes some move in these directions and becomes abit more aware of its Junior members then a lot of goou canbe done. There is great potential in introducing Orienteeringto young people and its in the hands of those who know aboutthe sport to make the first movo.

If I can help in any way just write to me atthe above address.

Larry Roe.3

The Editor,Irish Orienteer.

40 College Park,Corbaliy,

Limerick.Dear Sir,

As planner of IOC 83 I was sorry to read that Joss Lynamwas less than satisfied with his course this year. Whereas Iwould have liked overyone to enjoy their championship coursesI doubt if Joss's implicd improvements would havo had this effect.A course 25% longcr might have pleased Joss but what would be theopinion of the person who finished say 5th? And what about theW43's and W50's further down the order? I realise that some ofJoss's criticism could be met by having the M56 ciass a separatecourse but I feel that ovon in the National Championships a coursepianned for 6 or 7 competitors is a luxury. I have spoken toDIana and found that she was, in fact, quite satisfied with thelength of the course.

On the general criticism 0' too few controls and too shorta course I can only state my own theory 0' course planning - atheory which conforms very much with most book-writing experts.

Orienteering, 1 believe is 'Navigation on the Run'. If aCOurse is too long for a competitor to run all Lhe way thiscriterion is not met. Because of this experts have calculated therecommended winning times for all classes. These we roused to planthe IOC 83 courses. I was most successful - as was to be expectedin the M21A class (97' of recommended winning time) and W19A (102')The majority of winning times were greater than recommended - ingoneral approximately 25' greater. The W43 winning time was IJOXof recommended and the H 56 107' - note that though Lhe latter wasshorter than the average It was still greater than recommended.

Ideally a perfect leg involves choosing the fastest routefrom among many options and careful navigation along that route.Finding the control at the end of the leg plays a small part. Ingeneral the longer tho leg the more route choico there will be andof couise long legs lead to 'cw controls. Having said that, I mustadd that Diane has a point when she says that ln a rough area - asBaliyhourlgan - more controls are needed to kcep the interest up.

I'm afraid If Joss wants a longer, tougher course he'll just haveto run M50. Otherwise if he lets me know he Is coming to a ThOevent I'll set him a course of his own and then we'll test him!

Yours faithfully,

Alan Shaw

SAVE THE PHOTOGRAMMETRIST!

PART 2Thoss of you who have been following my appeal, in

the last issue, to save the Photogrammetrist, will beinterested to hear th~t one of the many-armed epecieswae spotted by Joss ~am on one of his Himalayan Exp-editions. He believes now that it waS probably limber-ing up outside its fiducial point. His pboto~rap~ opp~oeite, is probably unique.

On table 1, I give a resume of some of the sources of verticalaerial pbotogr'.lphyavailable in Ireland.' There is in fact a lot ofphotograPhy available in addition to that shown. and it is reallyextraordinary that a lot of the photograPhy taken by the Air Corpsand by private companies has never been indexed.

The photogTammetrist has a dual funotionl the first of these isto translate the three dimensional model whioh he sees into aplanimetrically accurate map. He needs PbotograPbs of a suitablesoale snd ~uality (table 2), an accurate base-map, and paymentappropriate to the amount of time he is going to spend on tbe job.His seoond function is to interpret the aerial photographe so thathe knows wbat detail to put on to the map. If you ask for turf-cut1:ingD to be marked, hs must know what these will look like on tbephotograPhs. Look directly down on people from an upstairs windowand you will appreoiate how diffioult they are to identify.

Photo-interpretation is a soienoe on its own, and Photogrammetristsrapidly gain a wide experiencs in reoopnising features by their obape,tone, or even ebado~s. Even so,tbe perSOn with looal knowledge willoften be able to oontribute extra informationl 'I'd know Grandpa byhie bald-pa tcb anywhere'. A request for photogrammetry shouid, ideally,be aocompanied by as thorouPh an interpretation of the photographsas possible. This will be useful to ths photogrammetrist and a greathelp in mapping later.

It is a good idea therefor to aoquire prints of ths photographsto be ussd well in advance. Tbe photogrammstrist will need Printsas well ae diapoeitives anyway. I am a great believer in enlargementsto ths mappin~ soale if possible, even though thess ars r'.ltherexpensive.(I go.ve enlartement factors to 1'7,500 in the la.atissue). When wetake these into the foreet (suitably proteoted) we begin to realicewh~t ths photogrammetrist bas to oontend with. A sectiOn of the forestmay have been clear-felled or trees whioh were young when the Pboto-graphs were taken may have grown up. Trees may completely oonceal

ground detail. Out of the maes of detail on the Photographswe must no., select what we want highlightedl open areasfor intricate contour detail, areas where vegetation changesare important, blocks in whicb direction of planting will be significantor in wbicb ve know of Rround detail vbicb be may be able to spot fromvarying tree beigbts. The interpretation may be COPied onto goodxerox copies of tbe prints, or prepared as overlays on overbead-projector film using rapidograpb witb red diazo ink. Tbe Pbotogrammetristwill alsoneed tbe diapositives and tbe original Ordnance Survey sbeetsof tbe area. Now is the time to discuee tbe map witb tbe Photogrammetristto establish tbe exact area to be mapped, the scale for the finaldrawing and the contour interval. I would not recommend a scale overx5 as you will either be asking too much of the pbotographs or attemptingto put in too mucb detail.

There are advantages in selecting a pbotogrammetrist from among tbeinternational orienteering servioe oompanies, ~s they are used toorienteering work and will eupply a very high quality product. Howeverseveral local photogrammetriete are now dOing exoellent orienteeringwork, with the adavantgee of slightly lower prioes and the .poseiblityof discussing the work in detail as it prooeed.. Whoever you go toremember thRt you ~re oO'llmitt1nga large chunk of orienteering fundsto the jOb. Ae you are entering into a oommeroial contraot, explaineXaotly what you want, the pbotogrammetrist will then Quote you a prioefor the job. If tbe results are not satisfaotory, send it baok, anddiscuss the problem. If it is possible to improve the product, hewill do so, you will have a better map and be will know what is needednext time.

When you get your plot baok it may be neoessary to do a little best-fit work due to photographio distortion in enlarging your base-map.Wben the Photogrammetry and the O.S. map detail have been oombinedyou may start mapp1n~ in the field. Tbe objeot now ie to add newdetail and oorreot the bass map. Old walls may now be ruined, re-entrante may need to be exaggerated, vegetation ohanges mayor maynot denote runabi1ity ohanges. NEVER map on tbe O.S. base and addthe pbotogremmetry later. Every oontour and gully must be cheokedand re-modelled if necessary to refleot the orienteer I s view fromthe ground.

At the mapping stage prints and enlargements help again. Ordinarysnap-sbots of steep slopes oan help to eort out crag details, forexample. Oblioue aerial photographs o~n also help. Infact it isreported that Ajax initiates have to do at least one eortie strappe1to tbe belly of a Jumbo jet with tbe club instamatic. Rumours thatEoin was emigrating to Canada originated when his Jumbo over-shotShannon on its way to Montreall he returned via Gander (a cheap swan Ed.).

The final ouest ion to be asked is wbether you need photogrammetryat all. In flat areas of little relief the answer is probably no.

AssocTHREE ROCK ORlENTEERING CLUB

The sponsored score event in the Phoenix Park on May 15th'was a res ound Lnq success: we hope it will raise £1 000for the International Competitions Fund towards the worldChampionships. There was a,great response from all orient-eers, especially from our own club. Thanks to all whosupported the venture.

Ex-Secretary Avril Sloane has left Us for Australia for the summex-as if one w i.ntrer each year isn't enouqh t '''eare daily awaiting intell-igences about preparations for the 1985 World Championships.

'l'hesocial whirl that is life in 3ROC continues each last-Thursday-night-of-the-month at Revels in .Rathfarnham village. upstairs. fromabout 20.30hrs. .

Two rec-ent; 3ROC ef'forts have ended in ignominy: the club's trip tothe Harvester Trophy overnight relay in England, and the IHRA Lug Relays.At the Harvester we had tt.o bad runs (one more than in previous years)and finished well down the field, but the team of McCullough, Cleary,Dalby. Kernan. Phelan. Creagh and Malone ~K.enjoyed the experience.The team manager for the trip was Secretary McAuliffe. The event was wonby Arsunda of Sweden. who were disqualified last year. The secondunsuccessful outing was the IBRA Lug Relay in which we finished secondto Ajax who set a new course record. The 3ROC team was John McCullough.Barry Dalby and Peter Kernan. The winning time was 4 hrs 59 mins.

3ROC have again entered the Compass Sport Cup which this year willhave an extra (Irish) dimension which should ensure 3ROC a place in theFinal. meaning only one trip abroad.

Club tracksuits are still available in a variety of sizes fromBrigid Flanagan (980928) at around £10. Some English imposters haveadopted our familiar red and black colour scheme. Legal action is beingconsidered. 3ROC T-shirts are now available from Nuala Creagh (908982)at £2.00 each. An order is currently being assembled for a new batchof club O-suits: Ronan Cleary has the details and the samples.

The most recent "Irish Runner" f.eatured our Nationi'll ChampionJustin May in a full page feature on orienteering. The same Justin hasalso been invited to take part in the Superstars competition to takeplace in August: we wish him the best of luck, and a trip to Nel"Zealand when he wins. watch out,for him on TV.

Several club members are travelling abroad du'ring the summer:Sweden and Scotland are the main destinations. Reports and maps will beavailable at the August Club Night at Revels in Rathfarnham.

Training continues each wednesday from the SW-m'ost car park atMarlay at 6.30 pm , All members are weLc ome , Further training events areplanned in the near future- training officer Pat McManus is the master-mind behind them.

Mapping. of course, continues, with the revised Three Rock mapnearing completion and work progressing on other areas in Dublin andWicklow.

Our next events are planned fo,r September 25th (National O-Day) atPhoenix Park and the new Kilmashogue map. As many members as possiblewill be needed to help at these introductory events.After that our nextventures are on October. 23 at Pine Forest, and December 26. also atpine Forest for the Christmas Score Event. A night event or two in theearly w t nt.er is a likely inclusion, also: watch this space ..

Much criss-cr-ossingon longer courses, necessitating map exchange and many manned controls.Weather appalling. 50 many non- or unhappy- finishers. Some dubiousresults (known non-finishers shown with excellent times) and one doubtfulcontrol on a crag near one wh ich l:@§. on the map reduced the overallquality of the event. Not a forest to which many will want to return.

'83Gruelling courses (16km/660m for men, 9.8km/360m for women) with muchclimb-actual routes having as much as 1000m on the mens' course. Technicallyfairly easy with accurately sited controls (with one possible exception),the courses were divided into Sections A, B & C with a common start, map-exchange and finish. Men did A,B,C, women A&C. The effect was to givesplit times at var-ious POiAtS around the course. Fastest men were WallyYoung (CO), Pat Healy (CO) and Eoin Rothery (Ajax), fastest women wer-eMaura Thornhill (GEN), Roxanne White(SET) and Eileen Loughman (GEN). Notall the squad members attended, so the event can only be used as anindicator- of present form. Aonghus OCleirigh (CO) has withdrawn from theWOC Squad because of injury.

<J'1I0MOND tlRIENTEERS

Now that the Irish Championships arc over and summer hasmore or less come mapping is in full swing. Fiona MoGoldriokand Plassey Orienteers are mapping In Foynes and Richard Hayeshas oompleted the map of Crescent Comprehensive. A black andwhite map of tho latter has already been produoed and a oolourone should appear In Autumn. Gay Dunoe is working on St. Munohln'sColloge and Alan Shaw Is remapping Cratloe, taking in an area ofmountain to the north of the wood.

The olub Is to launch a big drive for new members 1nSeptember. Club membership has dropped very low but we are hopingthat literature followed up by talks on the sport shOuld get moreorlentoors out of the woodwork in schools and firms sooial clubs.A city the size of Limerick should be able to support an enormousolub.

Planning is underway for the Burren Walk on Sunday, 28 August.This is an annual weekend event whleh has had great success. Inaddition to the Walks, there is an orienteering event at the RabbitWarren, Fanore at 7.00 p.m. on the Saturday evening. On the Sundaythere are three walks of 22 km, 15 km and 7km length. Fell-runnersare weloome, reoords for A & B walk are 2 hours 18 minutos(Declan O'Callaghan 1980) and 82 minutes (Justin May 1982) respectIvely.

Camping facIlities and hIre of caravans are available aLMcCormack's Caravan Park (tel. Craggagh 215) and there is also d

So get writing to me at 36,Wedge,yood, Sandyford Rd. ,Dublin 1"1, and forward your suggestionsand criticisms.1Jet us all know how you feel about the sport inIreland today as it affects you.For this article I thought it might be interesting to have a

closer look as to how our Juniors did in 3 major competitions-the Irish,Leinster & Connaught Championships.To avoid complicatedmathematical calculations I simply awarded points to the top tenfinishers in each class as follows: Irish Champs:20,17,15,12,10,8,6,4,2,1 others:15,13,11,9,7,5,~,3,2,1. Obviously those who competedin all 3 stoed the best chance of scoring well.An adjustment wasmade for those who competed in a higher class.

CURRAGH NEWSA new mapping service has opened up here in Ireland to rival a

certain over-priced Scottish firm. It is being run by one of the realprofessionals in the business ...P.J.Healy. Needless to remark, no creditextended.

Congratulations to Eoin Rothery and Maura Thornhill on their well-earned victories in Stradbally, And great value at that, with two pre-marked maps, all for £1. Pity about the rain, though. It seemed to puta number of top competitors off when they went a-hunting crags. I say,better luck next time, chappies! And good wins for Justin ~!ay and Deirdreni Challanain in Kilcooley. Deirdre has left Ajax since to Join theCurragh. Curragh News is investigating at present.

This year the Army team fly to Brazil for the CIS~l Championshipsin September (the REAL World Championships). Will it be the same old faces,or will Murph, the dark horse, make a late challenge?

This is the tenth anniversary of quality competitive orienteeringin Ireland. It is no coincidence, either, that Walter C.Young has been onthe orienteering scene for just ten years. Curragh News, in this issue,pays tribute to the man who, more than anyone else, shaped the sport inthis country ... and has made his presence felt ever since, The followinginterviel" was taken at the All Army Orienteering Championships atKllworth where the WeI snatched his seventh All Army title in eight starts.The reporter is none other than Denis "Brazil" Murphy who has latelyjoined the Curragh News team:

The Wally Young Profile - The Orienteer"S Orienteer.Curragh News: Right, Wal. How did it all happen?Wally Young : It all started when Donie Walsh just pipped me for a place

on the Irish cross-country team in '73. I took a chance onan orienteering event at Seefin and ran a good third on theA course. I won the next event and, to be honest, Murph, Ihaven't looked back since.You certainly made an immediate impact on the sport. Thecatchcry and certainly the ambition of every orienteertoday is "to bate Wally Young and map half of Munster".Tell us how it's done.As a young lad (No more puns, please. Ed.) I used to wrestleunder-age for Ireland, Ah shur it was savage crack altogether!I played the bit of Minor football then for the County. Youwouldn't want to hold back, either, or they'd think youwere soft, And, as you know yourself, Murph, Ivorking onthe farm as a garsun taught you respect.We country lads know 'vhat it's all about. "Gehup outa datye boyah!" But, Wal, what about technical training?Technical training? ..Ah, shtopp it Murph .•.You go outthere and you ate controls. Shur, for the World Champs inSwitzerland I put a tenner's worth of petrol in the bus,drove to Kinnitty for the gallop, and ran a good twenty-seventh on that! Where would you be going, flying alloverEurope like the Brits? Shur, they've got it all wrong!What about fell-running as O-training?Ah there's no beating the gallop up the side of a slope ofa Thursday evening. You go out there and you teach some ofthese young lads respect IWhat do you like most about orienteering?To be honest with you, Murph, it has to be the Ajax Pan Cluband the way they might keep you awake half the night. What'sthat you have there at all? ..Sandwiches! •..Murph, you're asaviourlWell, actually, home cooked brown bread from Kilmanagh.Well, God bless Mrs. Murphy!

THE MAPPING OF CARRICKGOm.OGAR

Suhtitle: "A 'Roman's Approach" er "How not to g. about it and stillget there" - tM.~,,- L.."-AAEt4£tJ)

This article is addressed to those without pre"lious ma:pping experiellc;e.,who may be too timid to try or else consider mapping tg b. wrapped in aveil of mystique which can only be pier~ed by those in high aad loftyplaces,such as the Ordnance or Geological Sur~ey or architects' ~ngoffices. Let lie aBsu.re you that you do not have to undergf) straJl48 init -iation rites such as total imIIersion in printer's ink or eyen to get

. . involved 1n a photogrlillllaetrieplotl You need Ilot be a Goliathbut rather a DaT.id, armed with a tew siaple tools ot the'trade and acapacity tor enjoyment. You are then ready to set out into the hills &Adwoods.

Our area is about 2t sq. kilometres CIXlnsisting ot young woodland andROUGH open land. It was the torller site ot. lead mining industr;r andhas =any interesting features conne~ted with this, such as old mine shafts,quarry diggings, a mile long !lue and one of the biggest eatmaeys of itstype. Lead was ney.er found her.a in great quantities but was krou~ht infroa Glendaloug~ &ad other parts ot Wickloy and then smelt.d. The chimneyand tunnel are one of the first anti-pollution schemes away ahead ot itstime. There are also interesting archaeological remains auch as ringforts and dol.eus.

This is aD apprec:l.able area to be sur~eyed by two people, especi.a11ywomen with no prior knowledge of surveying, consequently the whole projectseemed to take rather a 101lg time - three years. ill tact. I had even con-Sidered lea~ing it to GEN in my w1111

RaTing many other comaittments we used to try and get One 1I0r~ngper week in the tar.st aloug with six. dogs as COllpaniod. You can 1III&«1.ethe impact sade on the n.ighboura by the sight of a Fiat 600 bursting atthe s._s with six exc:;ltedbarking dogs IlIldtwo strangely clad women withIlIl assortllent of compasses etc, sluag around their necks.

Our survey methods could also be ter.ed bizarre. At first our inst-ruaents consisted ot a compass, pacing seale and a spirit lev.el. Usingthe latter we iav.ented a new measurment called a HAZEL.I would walk up aslepe until Hazel, my CO-llapper, arlled with the spirit le-.:el,focused iton my feat. She would then walk to the spot and I would proceed furthur upthe hill, the whele process being repeated over and over. Six and a halfhazels equalled one ten-metre contour. The half was obtained by her loingdown on one kne~t the last measurement. Incidentally it dees ones ego alot Of good to be genu!lected to every time you plot a contour-an expe~-ieDce sadly lacking froll more ',orthodox methods of surv.eyiql III this waywe proceeded to plot most of the contours, but then we were given aphotogrammetric plot:- all our efferts seeaed to a&~e been wasted but ourcen!idence in our ah1lity was b.lstered as the geDeral shape was yerysimilar. We also started by using the old ' traverse ' method but after avery inatructi~e course with Ro~n KarTey we could plot direct in thef:1.eld.

We took so long' that the forest changed a great deal :1.nthe three'years. Two carparks were bUilt, ney forest walks .ere laid out , theuse of which canaed. the old to get ov.ergrown. We ended up altering ourwDrk and at the enlt e-.:enclid t.bree ~ull. days ' gardenng , on the hill 1t'or this we had the sernces of a countrymaJL whe would have _de a coodexplorer in the A£rican j\ll1gJ. ••. As he hacked his way though. overgrown

paths .e came to the conclusion that it might ha~e been easier to haveaecided beforehand where to have tracks, map them and then make theml

So you can see that our main faults were economic ones where timewas concerned and would bave made interesting reading in a Time andMotion Study. However the end result .as not toobad. It j,usttook Longer-,

As we have had a series of articles on DRAWING recently , I willnot go into this except to add one piece of useful advice.

Defore drawing the final separations I drew a I Fine Copy I of allthe information we had gathered. This is really just another Base Mapexcept that it is drawn as carefully as the separations.

Depressions were oriented to magnetic north,crags drawn neatly,correct separation of boundaries' and roads observed; each dot on a walland dashes on earthbanks put in plac,e. I broke the contours where theyran accross depressions or crags and also the North Lines .here theyinterfered with information. A:J,1this may seem v.ery arduous and unnecc-essary but it was a tremendous aid in dOing the :tinal colour separationsand added to the Clarity of the final version.

Clarity is very important and also,of course, Accuracy. I waspleased when I saw the printed result - the colouring and general app-earance were pleasant - then followed two months of anti-climax andfrustration as I sa. changes occurring in the forest and the map stillunused - then apprehension as the day of our Grade 1 Event drew near.I wondered if I would have to leave the country. However I think itstood the tes~ as all courses finished sucessfully and the only complaintwas of exhaustion.

No-one should be hurried about either surveying or drawing,'esp'ec-ially if inexperiencedp I must admit however that I needed some gentleprodding. Only for the fact that my map was going to print with BrockaghI would still be out in the forest correcting and updating. I would nothave liked to have been Tom McCormack who had to draw Br-ockagh in tenev.enings with survey material still coming in. Only a really eXperiencedperson could do that.

Most important of all, Mapping is ENJOYABLE.The intricacies are fascinating, and getting to know one area

intimately quite an experience. ETery badger sett, fox-hole, boulder anddepression are impresse. indelibly on ones photoiraph1c memory. One seesthe area in all weathers and seasons. We hav.e picniced in the depths ofwinter in a copse with sno.flakes falling gently round us, have heardthe larches popping on a still spring day, smelt the gorse, and driventhrough summer lanes banked by hedgeparsley. We have got scratched,bitten, stung, been chased by cows ~'Id goats, and Carrickgollogan evenboasts its own flasher.

We have made six dogs exceedingly happy and have met a variety ofinteresting householders. There is a woman who spins her own .001, dyesit from the flo.ers and plants of the hedgerows,and then weaves it intobeautiful wall hangings. There is an old farmer with the dirt. of ye&%Sengrained in his skin sitt.ing in the darkness of an old farmhouse, hisarthritic hands resembling a bird's claw. There are people versed inthe art of painting, .riting, and photog,aphy. All these hav.e given ushospitality and treated us with kindness and courtesy.

The views from the hill are unrivalled for such a small area soclose to the c1ty.

So you can see that Mapping is not just compass bearings andContours, as some would have us believe. Rather it is a whole experien,einvolving all the senses and ODe which we would not wish to have missed.

Controller's Report:Rain, unfortunately, is still something we cannot control. I think Patplanned a technically and physically demanding set of courses suitablefor a Grade 1 event. Despite the weather conditions, the number of non-finishers in all classes was satisfactorily low and winning times werewhat we had e.xpected. With reference to NO.13 on the A Course, thecontrol was fair and accurate, although the fuller use of the descriptionsheet would have helped to prevent any doubts which might have arisendue to a slight map inacciracy in the area.
